You have to select the appropriate sound source.
I suppose you are using command-shift-5 to do the recording.
Before you start, click on Options, and choose the right one, under Microphone. [The default is None, which of course does not record audio at all.]
As you go about it, do consider installing Soundflower 2.0b2. With you can record audio straight out of an application and not get any ambient noise with it.
Quicktime Player, like Screenshots, allows you to choose the audio source.
I created, in Audio MIDI Setup, a "Multi Output Device", which lets me send audio to SoundFlower AND built-in output simultaneously. Then if I select SoundFlower as input I can record and monitor the audio without capturing any ambient noise. Works like a charm.
While there are definitely uses for these screen recording applications, for most users the Quicktime Player or the Screenshots already available on their macs are pretty adequate. And, yes, they can record sound!
Well, to my knowledge QuickTime Player only records the microphone sound with video. And I can never get Soundlower to work which is why I generally recommend Screenflick and its ilk which I know works.
I figured out the problem. I have Boom 3D installed and I have to select it as the audio output device to record the system audio. I suppose if I quit Boom I could get Soundflower to work but i rather like Boom. 😎
edit: Screenflick works with Boom 3D running.
You would need a utility such as Screenflick or one of its brethren.
You should get the sound issue worked out following the excellent advice provided here, make sure you check with the copyright owner of the training video.
Maybe you can create a multi-output device with Boom and Soundflower.
By the way, I was unaware of Boom3D, and it seems to nice! I will consider downloading the trial. Thanks for mentioning it. 😎
You're welcome. I do like what it does. One caveat, Audirvana and Boom do not get along.
